MJO Initiation Triggered by Amplification of Upper‐Tropospheric Dry Mixed Rossby‐Gravity Waves

Abstract A possibly important dynamical process for the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) convective initiation is proposed. An MJO event during the “CINDY2011” field campaign is triggered by eastward‐moving lower‐tropospheric mixed Rossby‐gravity (MRG) wave packets, and its leading precursor is predo...
